Purple Row Prediction Competition: Week 14

Apparently, Jeff is still in Egypt, so I'll be doing the Prediction Competition posting. I have no idea what the scores are, but I'm almost definitely beating Maria. If I recall correctly (no one look at last week's post) I predicted that the Rockies would win a 15-inning game in which they loaded the bases 4 times in extra innings alone.
It's not too late to join in the fun: Here is how the scoring works
Here is the pitching Schedule for the final week before the All-Star break, during which Miguel Olivo will be given the great honor of watching one of the Molina brothers catch the Midsummer Classic from the comfort of his home. Because that sentence may have been confusing, I will clarify: Yadier Molina will not be catching from home.
Good luck everyone!

Now that that is over.....
by 3nS on Jul 6, 2010 2:43 PM MDT up reply actions
That's nothing
Pioneer Skies went with a score of 7-0 every game last year with the Rockies winning. During our rather large win streak (the Rockies scored 7+ runs three days in a row) he didn’t stop eating at Taco Bell until the Rockies finally lost. His magic number was 7: 7 runs, 7 wins…

if I remember correctly
that was the one that the radio guys though should have been a single and an error
Your point stands though, as he did have a double. A HR would be great this week.

Here is how it will have to go...
Herrera up to bat…facing a right handed pitcher…on a beautiful day game…Herrera will have to be ahead in the count…Dexter Fowler on 2nd or 3rd, more then likily 3rd from another triple…and we will have to move the game to either St.Louis or San Diego.
I meant
did he hit the HR at Security Service or somewhere else?

I would have thought my cps would be worth more considering our lack of being able to come from behind this year (second worst in the leauge) and the home runs with playing the first half of the week at petco.
